If we hit the lottery…
The Detroit Free Press ran a story about how, for $15,000, you can sponsor your favorite celebrity on the Las Vegas Walk of Stars. Choose from a list of 100 future honorees, or one of your personal favorites. We note that there are a number of comedians among the 100.
Milton Berle
Red Buttons
George Carlin
Johnny Carson
Bill Cosby
Rodney Dangerfield
Redd Foxx
Shecky Greene
Buddy Hackett
Bob Hope
Alan King
Rich Little
Rowan & Martin
Bob Newhart
Don Rickles
Joan Rivers
Penn & Teller
So, for $255,000, we could sponsor all the above. Plus, we’d kick in another $2,500 for a few cans of Brasso. And constantly advertise in the Review-Journal for an obsessed fan of each star to volunteer to keep each star polished and chewing gum free. Read the rest here.

Rodney Dangerfield has a star on the Hollywood WOF (That’s short for “Walk of Fame” for those of you at Shecky)…and I have photos to prove it. It was kind of sad to see that his star got the same respect he did. I was walking and the only reason I looked down was because someone put a cigarette out on his star. I wouldn’t even do that on Scott Baio’s star, if he had one. Here I thought comedians were supposed to be keen observers, apparently that’s why those at Shecky just write about comedians. Well, tell me what I’ve won Bob…(Seriously, a shirt or something, I’m a Hanes Large, I think they are only about $4)
